Bobcat Requirements

The first rank that EVERY boy MUST earn when entering the Cub Scouting Program is the Bobcat rank.

To earn the Bobcat rank the new Cub Scout must do the following:

1. Learn and say the CUB SCOUT PROMISE and complete the Honesty Character Connection.

Know: Discuss these questions with your
family. What is a promise? What does it mean to "keep your word?" What
does honesty mean? What does it mean to "do your best?"

Commit: Discuss these questions with your
family. Why is a promise important? Why is it important for people to
trust you when you give your word? When might it be difficult to keep
your word? List examples.

Practice: Discuss with family members why
it is important to be trustworthy and honest and how can you do your
best to be honest when you are doing the activities in Cub Scouting.
